Dance, Pandemics, and Kinesthetic Disobedience: From St. Vitus to TikTok

March 6, 2024 -

5:00pm to 6:00pm

Lucille Toth, PhD
Assistant Professor of French
The Ohio State University

Abstract: This talk will address the long history of “infectious dances” from St Vitus epidemics of dancing mania to HIV+ dancers, and dance videos going viral on social media today. Thinking about pandemics through dance allows us to analyze the types of production, as well as spaces of disobedience, that are created in times of health crisis.
